Chapter 184 The Great Sword Azure Slash, a Divine Appearance, Participating in the Grand War
It was late at night, and the moon was bright and clear.
Little Snowflake was already fast asleep.
Jiang Yuan sat quietly under the eaves, bathed in moonlight, holding a katana passed down through generations of the Ueno family.
The hilt was made of crimson rope, and the blade, which gleamed with a faint bluish-green light, was three feet long and incredibly sharp.
"A fine knife."
"Cangqie, a top-tier dark gold weapon, are you really going to give it to me?"
"Yes."
Ueno Harue, dressed in a kimono, knelt respectfully behind her. Her black hair was tied up, and her long neck appeared even whiter and more like jade in the darkness. Her slender waist and hips outlined an extremely beautiful curve.
"I'll ask anyway, why?"
Jiang Yuan glanced at her sideways, "If it's because I saved your life, becoming my servant is enough to repay that debt of gratitude."
Haruka Ueno bowed her head, close to the ground.
"I want to ask my master... to avenge my husband."
"I remember your husband is still alive, isn't he?"
"Yes... but his spirit has irreversibly degenerated into that of a child, and his body has aged like an old man's, and all of this was done by that person!"
Harue Ueno's tone was filled with deep hatred.
This piqued Jiang Yuan's curiosity.
Upon inquiry.
Only then did I learn the whole story.
Harue Ueno's husband, Yusuke Ueno, is the eldest son of the Ueno family, which is a vassal family of the Musashi family, and has a ninth-rank Grandmaster in charge of the family.
The exceptionally talented Yusuke Ueno was given high hopes. Under his family's arrangement, he brought his family to the artificial island of Alaya, intending to establish himself in the city.
Everything was initially moving in a positive direction.
"As a result... a close friend of my husband's suddenly betrayed him after we entered the abyss, joining the Kitahara family, who are enemies of the Musashi family! My husband told me all this after he risked his life to escape the abyss. And then, and then he..."
Tears welled up in Ueno Harue's eyes, and she covered her face with her hands, unable to hold back her sobs.
"So that's how it is, another backstabbing..."
Jiang Yuan closed his famous sword and sighed.
"Why didn't you report this to the Ueno family?"
"It's no use. That person has pledged allegiance to the Kitahara family. Even the Ueno family wouldn't dare to provoke the Kitahara family, one of the three major families..."
"That person's name is Kuroki Sho, a seventh-tier Grandmaster martial artist. With my strength, I'm no match for him, so..."
Harue Ueno looked at Jiang Yuan pleadingly.
"So you've come to me with this knife, begging me to kill him for you?"
Jiang Yuan gave a half-smile.
"You think you can make me provoke a seventh-tier grandmaster with just a dark gold-grade weapon? You're dreaming."
"I... I really have no other choice now."
"If he doesn't die, he will definitely come looking for me and Xueye... If Master is willing to grant my request, I am willing to give everything, including..."
Harue Ueno's eyes were resolute.
She stood up.
Jiang Yuan didn't even notice what she did.
"Including...everything about me."
Beautiful women and beautiful scenery.
Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes, reached out to the beautiful woman, and lifted her chin.
Harue Ueno closed her eyes.
But what was expected did not happen.
"I'm not interested in your body," the boy said.
The beautiful woman opened her eyes.
The boy in black lifted her chin, his deep brown eyes looking down at her, and smiled:
I want to drink now.
"If you buy me a good drink, I'll consider it."
A gust of wind blew by.
Cherry blossoms danced in the courtyard, and the handsome, godlike young man's silver hair fluttered. His smile, playful and teasing, shone even brighter in the moonlight.
Harue Ueno was momentarily dazed, as if in a dream.
The existence before my eyes...
Is it really human?!
It's really not some legendary elf or god or anything like that?!
………………
Silent all night.
The next day.
Before Jiang Yuan rose to power.
Xueye had already finished eating and gone to school.
Harue Ueno was taking care of her elderly, dying husband in the room.
I met Jiang Yuan.
Her eyes flickered, and as she recalled what happened last night, her gaze became shy and evasive.
"Master, what would you like to eat? I'll make it right now."
"No need, I need to go out for a bit, just give me some money."
"Yes."
After receiving the black card containing 100 million yen in cash from Harue Ueno.
Jiang Yuan then went out.
He wore a black-scabbarded katana named "Azure Cutter" hanging at his waist.
Although it cannot be equipped, it is still good to use as a sword.
They found the Crown Stone on the island without any incidents along the way.
Many hunters and advanced warriors gathered around the Grand Rank Stele, which had 67 names on it, with Jingu Ryuichi at the head.
Upon seeing Jiang Yuan, he walked towards the crown stele.
Many hunters scoffed softly.
"Another one who's not afraid of death has arrived."
"These young people just love to die."
"There's nothing we can do about it, they're all young and impetuous. Everyone thinks they're incredibly powerful, but they don't know how terrifying the Grand Prix is."
"Have they died over a hundred this year already?"
"That's so cruel..."
……
Just as Jiang Yuan ignored everything and walked towards the crown stele.
A mysterious girl with full blonde hair, wearing light armor and a steel mask stepped forward and blocked Jiang Yuan's path.
Let's stop here.
Jiang Yuan frowned. "Who are you?"
The mysterious girl didn't answer, but only said, "This year's Grand Tournament is very dangerous. I advise you not to participate."
"This is advice."
"Hey, Kujo, why are you bothering with him? Just let him participate. That way, if I run into him, it'll be easy for me to get a star, right?" A fiery male voice rang out.
A boy with four eyebrows walked towards them menacingly, his hands in his pockets, staring intently at Jiang Yuan.
"Tch, another one who's more handsome than me."
He looked at Jiang Yuan's height and face with envy in his eyes.
……
"It's the Flash Sword Rider - Kujou Ruri and the Thunder Spear - Akasaka Susuke!"
"Both of them are rising dark horses in the Grand Prix, having already earned three stars in just one month."
People around them were talking about it.
Jiang Yuan glanced at the two meddlesome people.
This kind of thing happens when you have a high level of extra favorability.
While it may attract romantic encounters, it will also attract envy.
Simply put, it makes it easier to trigger events...
Shake his head.
Jiang Yuan placed his hand on the crown stele, and a beam of light shone on him.
Ruri Kujo: "I'll feed you..."
